NFL Week 8 Thoughts

     Thankfully, we finally fell under .500 last week, so we're taking the rest of the season off from making picks based off point spreads. Well, except for one game a week.

Washington (+10) over COWBOYS

     We've picked against my Dallas Cowboys every week of the NFL season, and I firmly believe that's the reason they are 6-1. So even if there are no other picks in this space, we'll always post a Cowboys pick.
     As for the rest of the slate, we'll post some thoughts, predictions, or facts that have no relevance to actual games. Enjoy.

I'm Glad I'll Be Working During the Falcons-Lions Game Tomorrow Morning
     You know who else is? My wife. Seriously NFL, you've already pissed off enough women this year. Let's try not to make football last for 15 consecutive hours.

What Do You Get With No Steroids in Baseball? The Worst World Series Ever
    The Royals and Giants are dog shit. If either club played the '98 Yankees 10 times, they'd be lucky to win twice.

The Saints Shouldn't Be Favored Against Aaron Rodgers
     Yet incredibly, the line is still SAINTS (-2) as of the time of this writing.

Let's Keep Running DeMarco Murray Into the Ground
     He's a free agent after the year anyway. With as good as the offensive line is, it doesn't matter who is toting the rock for the Cowboys.

Denver Might Be the Only Super Bowl Caliber Team in the League
     Seattle and San Francisco still have time to turn it around (the 49ers will get a lot of dudes back on defense during the second half of the season), but for now it's Denver and then everyone else. Since the advent of the weekly Thursday night game, we haven't seen a better two win in five day stretch like the Broncos just pulled against San Francisco and the Chargers.

We're Happy Bob is Getting Eaten on "The Walking Dead"
     It's not an endorsement of cannibalism, but I really hate Bob, and thought he should've died sometime last season.

Detroit and Cincinnati Are Lurking
     Both clubs are missing elite wide receivers, and should return to previous offensive production upon their return.

Jacksonville is Our Underdog Pick of the Week
     This pick has more to do with how frustrating the Dolphins have been over the last few years than an endorsement of the Jaguars.

     I'd post more, but I have to go to work in six hours. Until next time...
